EPG

U.S. Patent Number 5442959

The Environmental Protection Gauge (EPG) is easy to install. It installs just like tubular glass and is designed to replace your existing tubular glass. It will eliminate glass breakage and stop costly spills. The metal end connection of the gauge inserts into the valve stuffing box thus eliminating two common points for glass breakage:

  • Overtightening of the glass packing
  • Breakage of glass at the packing nuts from impact to the gauge
Features:

The packing nut on the tubular valve tightens around the metal nozzles of the EPG gauge, not glass! Nozzles match the O.D. of 5/8" glass or 3/4" glass.
The clear polycarbonate shield allows 360° visibility. Unlike expanded metal protection, the fluid level is not obstructed. The EPG Level Gauge is also priced so that it is an economical alternative to expanded metal.
